The journey she described takes her through a forest and runs 16km towards the school. She also mentioned needing to take off her shoes and socks when walking the distance because of how soiled they get through the leafy forest.

Zinhle has to make another 16km journey back home, where she stays with her 78-year-old gran in the Delmas outskirts. She also talked about how the rest of her family dropped out because they couldn't handle the distance.
